When my husband violently attacked me at 4 a.m. on Christmas Eve 1990 using a newspaper torch, I first thought my life was over. My second thought was my children. I silently prayed to God to protect me and my children. With my upper torso in flames then I saw an angel guide me down the hall to the bathroom where I was able to lock the door, get in the shower, and put out the flames. Through this ordeal and my faith in God I knew God would get me through this emotional and physical trial. With my trust and faith in God, He healed me physically and most importantly because of my faith I was emotionally able to continue to deal with my hurt and my pain. Also, the care of my children. I know God cares for all of us. Vickie Richardson was born and raised in Dry Ridge, Kentucky. She now resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence: A Holistic Perspective, Delia Marie Franklin, RN provides readers with a comprehensive viewpoint on domestic violence that examines abuse through the lens of a multifaceted strategy. The book provides an in-depth understanding of intrafamilial abuse, elaborating on the development of the abusive mindset through observation, practice, and reinforcement. It explains the abusive tactics utilized in unhealthy relationships and how these tactics allow perpetrators of intimate partner violence to establish a status of control and hierarchy over their victim. Readers learn about the interplay of neuroscience and violence; the nuanced and complex process of realization, escape, and postseparation life by victims; the concept of revictimization; and the adverse effects of intrafamilial abuse on victims and children. The material addresses the influence of cultural beliefs and gender disparity on domestic and intimate partner violence; societal impediments and blind spots that can lead to the inability to recognize abuse or intervene successfully; and the roles of medical, legal, and law enforcement professionals in understanding and responding to abuse. Readers are presented with solutions for decreasing intimate partner violence, including cultural change, batterer intervention programs, social reform through education, and coercive control penalties. Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence is ideal for programs in medicine, healthcare administration, nursing, criminal justice, education, and political science, as well as any course that examines intimate partner violence.

This edited volume represents a joint effort by international experts to analyze the prevalence and nature of gender-based domestic violence across the globe and how it is dealt with at both national and international levels. With studies being conducted in 20 different countries and 4 distinct regions, the contributors to this volume shed light on the ways in which contextual particularities shape the practices and strategies of addressing the socio-cultural and legal problem of gender-based domestic violence in the countries or regions where they do research. Special attention is devoted to developing countries where there is a lack of a consistent legal definition of gender-based domestic violence and where violence against women is widely considered a private matter. The authors of the chapters share a common goal of raising public awareness of the significance in nuanced local experiences of women and other individuals from gender and sexual minority groups facing gender-based violence.Furthermore, the authors attend, analytically, to the newly emerging, overlapping influences of COVID-19 and global warming. Their research findings acknowledge and provide a detailed account of how the two ecological and socio-economic crises can combine to produce economic devastation, disconnect victims from necessary social services and assistance, and create a large degree of panic and uncertainty. In addition, they intend to offer insights into next steps to not only adjust existing public policies, legislation, and social services to the ever-changing national and global contexts, but also to make new ones.The book is intended for a wide range of scholars (both professors and students) and practitioners in a large number of areas, including but not limited to criminal justice, criminology, law, human rights, social justice, social work, nursing, sociology, and political or public affairs.
